Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a right angled triangle. The perpendicular height is 8 meters and the base is 25.3 meters.
The city is planning to plant a certain number of trees for every square meter of a triangle-shaped park. Compose a rectangle to find the area of the park. What is the area of the park in square meters?

To find the area of the park, we need to multiply the base and height of the triangle and then divide by 2, since the area of a triangle is calculated as 1/2 base x height.
Area of the park = (25.3 meters x 8 meters) / 2
Area of the park = 202.4 square meters
Therefore, the area of the park is 202.4 square meters.
wrong
My apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.
To find the area of the triangle-shaped park, we need to multiply the base and height of the triangle and then divide by 2, since the area of a triangle is calculated as 1/2 base x height.
Area of the park = (25.3 meters x 8 meters) / 2
Area of the park = 101.2 square meters
Therefore, the correct area of the park is 101.2 square meters.
